Project Manager – Custom Fabrication & CAD Design
Location: Manchester, Iowa | In-Office
Our client, a local mobile storage service that provides full fabrication solutions tailored to customers’ needs — including customized shipping containers, mobile offices, and modular structures serving customers across the Midwest and beyond — is seeking a technically skilled Project Manager with CAD experience.
This role sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and fabrication. You will partner closely with Sales to translate customer concepts into buildable plans and manage custom projects from initial feasibility through shop production and delivery.
Each day brings new challenges and opportunities, making this position ideal for someone who loves problem-solving, cross-team coordination, and hands‑on involvement in the build process.
This is not a purely desk‑based role — you’ll spend time in the fabrication shop, reviewing drawings with production leads, ensuring projects are buildable, accurate, and delivered on schedule.
Key Responsibilities
Project Management
Own project scope, schedules, and deliverables from sale completion
Serve as liaison between Sales and Fabrication teams
Prepare work orders, BOMs, timelines, and installation instructions
Identify and resolve design or material issues proactively
Technical Design
Use CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar) to create/modify drawings
Verify dimensions and construction methods with fabrication staff
Ensure designs meet safety, quality, and manufacturability standards
Fabrication Support
Review ongoing work in the shop and implement revisions when needed
Assist with estimating materials and tracking changes throughout the build
Provide clear direction to ensure customer specifications are met
Qualifications
CAD/3D modeling proficiency required
Background in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, or drafting
Strong cross‑functional project coordination experience
Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and customer‑facing teams
Willingness to work on the shop floor when needed
Compensation & Career Growth
Estimated Salary Range: $65,000 – $95,000 (DOE)
Growth path toward Project Engineering or Engineering Lead responsibilities
